The remaining work to be carried out includes installing raised crossings, relaying pavements on the west side and making the stretch of Geoffrey Road between Brockley Cross and Upper Brockley Road in one-way (traffic will only be able to enter Geoffrey Road from Brockley Cross, not exit it).

The Council explains:

Work began again at Brockley on Sunday morning (18 Nov). Conways have already realigned the kerb and are laying paving on the north side of Endwell Road, outside the timber merchant's yard. There's not enough space there for Conways to work safely so we've had to temporarily close Endwell Road to westbound traffic and displace the eastbound lane. However, all being well, we should be able to reopen Endwell Road in time for the evening peak on Thursday.

Our next task will be to establish one-way working in Geoffrey Road. This is a condition of the Metropolitan Police's acceptance of the new zebra crossing on Brockley Cross. We cannot finish the zebra crossing and get it up and running until one-way working is established at the western end of Geoffrey Road (between Brockley Cross and Upper Brockley Road).

We have still to fix a date for the resurfacing work and will be discussing this with Conways this week. We hope to be able to complete before Christmas but we may have to wait until early in the New Year for a slot to become available.

Because the double roundabout is quite an effective way of shifting traffic through what is a five way junction.

But what they should have done is make sure the diversion signs were in place to bring the morning rush-hour traffic back on course by sending it down Endwell - cars were trying to go all the way up Vesta this morning, meeting buses coming down and all the extra parked cars at the top by the "temporary" school - chaos. I was glad I was going the other way.

i love your magazine, as a former resident of Brockley (many years ago, but sadly I wouldn't move back!). Funnily enough I now live in Dartford where, at any time, but especially during the morning rush hour, you cannot drive more than 400 yards without seeing a Conway vehicle - they are everywhere!

This new one way system coupled with the Zebra crossing is not going to work very well during peak traffic hours.I foresee much more traffic congestion, with cars backing up Geoffrey rd and the Zebra crossing causing gridlock.

As someone who lives on Wickham Rd, Mr/Mrs Anonymous, it is actually quite annoying to have drivers like you bombing it down the road at 7am every morning. Particularly now the council have made the speed bumps virtually bump-free.

"Still the dinner partiers of Geoffrey Road will have their say"You're obsessed with these mythical dinner parties. Don't worry I'm sure you'll get invited out one day. If only in a Diner de Cons way...

I'm pig-sick about all these catty comments about rat runs from someone who has a monkey on their back. It's getting my goat. I wish someone would give me a bear hug, so that I could feel more bullish and get rid of the black dog.

I just cycled down Geoffrey Road to go to the shops and was forced into a ridiculous detour in the wrong direction. I don't think the new one way system has been thought through properly. As a Geoffrey Road resident, I'm confused. The traffic obviously needs decimating all the way up and down the road but this weird token gesture is nearly as baffling as the 4 metre cycle lane between Upper Brockley Road and Geoffrey Road. Does anyone know if this mysterious piece off planning is still possibly changeable to something that is useful and not just a hindrance? As it is it is just going to force cyclists on to the pavement.
